Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
It's a new school year in Cabin Creek and the cousins have a new mystery. When Claire and David look out the art room window and see a girl's pale face, they suspect it's a ghost. How else could someone look into a second floor window and just disappear? As the cousins investigate, they find other peculiar clues: piano music lilting through the halls, the aroma of pumpkin pie, and a crooked old painting that looks like the ghost's face. Is their spooky old school house really a haunted house?
Each of the six books in this series feature atmospheric spot art throughout.
Praise for Kristiana Gregory:
'Through Hattie's diary, Gregory brings the rigors of the trip to life, but she also includes the details that kept the settlers going--the friendships and camaraderie that developed and the joyful events (a wedding and some births) that occurred. Gregory brings a sobering dose of reality to an era that's often romanticized; this is a fine glimpse of history on a human scale.'--Kirkus Reviews, for Dear America: Across a Wide and Lonesome Praire
'As she has done in several previous historical novels, Gregory brings to life events and perspectives not often found in the standard history texts... the bloody battles, and the suspenseful tone of the short, cliffhanger chapters will keep most readers involved. Meanwhile, Gregory provides insights into life in Alta California and nicely integrates Spanish words into the text. Historical notes, a glossary, a bibliography, and maps add to this novel's utility as a starting point for history lessons as well as for leisure reading.'--School Library Journal, for The Stowaway.
'This is heartfelt historical fiction, and readers will relish each page of the adventure.'--Publishing house's Weekly, for Jenny of the Tetons, winner of the Golden Kite Award and an NCSS-CBC Notable Children's Trade Book in the Field of Social Studies.

This review is being written by my 8 year old grandaughter, Mary. I loved this book but,I love all the other Cabin Creek Mysteries also.I can not wait until the 2 other books come out in February and May. I give all the books 5 stars but if there were more stars allowed, I would give all of them 1 million!

My son is 8 and has been a reluctant reader until about the past month or so. He's just begun to read chapter books, and this one has kept him up late many evenings. It must be pretty suspenseful because he kept running out of his room to tell me how excited he was to turn the page and find out what happened next. Here's a review in his own words:
"Cabin Creek Mysteries is awesome. I've been reading lots of books and my favorite is The Haunting of Hillside School. It is the best book I've ever read so far. It has good description. I want to read all the Cabin Creek Mysteries."
I'm definitely going to get the others in the series.
